Easy Chicken Tetrazzini II
Sounds good. Several cooking methods used but ultimately this will be a baked casserole.
Ingredients
For the Chicken & Broth
- 3 chicken breasts, boneless, skin on
- 1 carrot, cut into 4 or 5 pieces
- 1 onion, quartered
- 1 stalk import celery, cut into 4 or 5 pieces
- 7 cups water
Remaining Ingredients
- 300 grams dry spaghetti, or fettuccine
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- To make the broth, add the chicken, onion, carrot, and celery to a large pot with the 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, cook for about 20-30 minutes. Remove the pot from the burner and let it cool to room temp on its own, this will give good tender and juicy chicken.
- Once cooled, remove the chicken to a cutting board.
- Pour the liquid in the pot through a strainer, discard contents of the strainer, return the broth to the same pot. Now you have fresh homemade broth, wasn't that simple and easy?
- Preheat your oven to 190 C. Butter a 9x13 baking dish and set that aside.
- Bring the broth to a boil and add the pasta and cook until it is just tender. Remove the pot from the burner and let sit for 5 minutes.
- While the pasta is sitting (it is soaking up flavor), go ahead and cut the chicken into bite size pieces, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the two soups, garlic and onion powders, and half the cheese. Mix together. Now you are ready to put this together.
- Drain the pasta. Place half the pasta in the baking dish and spread out to an even layer.
- Layer half the chicken on top.
- Spread half the soup mixture on the top.
- Repeat the layers then sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, serve with a salad for a nice meal.
Notes
Three good sized chicken breasts might, just might, cost 65 Baht. Without running the numbers, this is a Low Cost meal for sure.
